First records of Archiconnus and Obesoconnus in Costa Rica (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae)

Coleoptera Glandulariini new species Neotropical

Abstract

The occurrence of the glandulariinae genera Obesoconnus and Archiconnus in Costa Rica is reported for the first time. Obesoconnus was previously known from Mexico and French Guyana; Obesoconnus costaricanus sp. n. fills the gap in the hitherto known distribution of this remarkable genus. Archiconnus was known only from the northern part of Peru (east of the Andes); Archiconnus limonensis sp. n. broadens the known genus range ~ 2000 km to north-west.
